CONDITION
Very good condition. Hem looks like it has been altered at some point, handsewn in fairly loose tacking stitches. Some small signs of handstitched reinforcements where straps attached to the bodice, mostly just on the inside. Bodice is lined in light white cotton which shows some slight discolouration, nothing major.
